Blackheads Treatment - Helpful Tips

By Peter Skonctue


If you have suffered from blackheads for many years and have tried everything to get rid of them, don't give up just yet. There are quite a few blackheads treatment programs that you still have to try. Blackheads are caused when an excessive amount of dead skin is shed, but then plug and block the pores.

Understanding blackheads is your first priority. In short, they are issues that come about when dead skin clogs the pores. So in order to counteract the problem you have to exfoliate your skin regularly. One of the hardest places to deal with is your nose. However, it's all a difficult process, so let's go over a few helpful tips today.

Exfoliate- While most people think there is one way to do this, there are actually several. When it comes to a blackheads treatment you need to find a mild exfoliate, and then combine some benzoyl peroxide. However, it's important to use the right amount and keep from over scrubbing. If you can do it correctly it will clear your blackheads right up.

Exfoliating twice a week should be the standard regimen. We recommend using a low benzoyl peroxide, especially if you are working on blackheads around and on the nose.

Pore-Strips - You could also use pore strips for blackheads treatment since it is advertised everywhere. This works by pasting it on the infected area and it sticks to the blackheads like glue. After a certain amount of time, you pull it off and "Voila!" blackheads are gone.

One thing to understand here is that this option may damage your skin. We recommend getting a clinical aesthetician instead. When done properly this is one of the most effective blackheads treatments out there.

However, don't go crazy with these things. Using too many can aggravate your skin and end up causing more blackheads to surface.

Blackhead Dissolver - This you will be able to find at your local drug store. This treatment dissolves blackheads in 3 weeks and it is made using natural plant extracts. The plant extracts reduce the cellular production and then help your skin's follicles open up. This is a treatment that not only works for blackheads but will also treat dandruff, eczema and many other conditions. The extracts in the blackhead dissolver soften the lipids and then eventually break them down.

When you use a blackheads treatment such as the dissolver it is very important that you not allow your skin to dry out or become dehydrated for long. If this happens, the plugs will harden and will cancel the treatment completely. You will be wasting your time. If you have dry skin and you are going to use this product, make sure that you moisturize your skin or it will become drier.

There are products that you can look out for that balances the skin so that the dryness and the oil production can end. Make sure you research these blackheads treatments further before making a decision.
